DESCRIPTION

ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile loads cpanfile in your distribution and modifies parameters for WriteMakefile in your Makefile.PL. Just use it instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (which should be loaded internally), and prepare cpanfile.

As of version 0.03, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile also removes WriteMakefile parameters that the installed version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't know, to avoid warnings.

LIMITATION

complex version ranges

As of this writing, complex version ranges are simply ignored.

dynamic config

Strictly speaking, cpanfile is a Perl script, and may have some conditions in it. That said, you don't need to run Makefile.PL to determine prerequisites in most cases. Hence, as of 0.06, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile sets dynamic_config to false by default. If you do need a CPAN installer to run Makefile.PL to customize prerequisites dynamically, set dynamic_config to true explicitly (via META_ADD/META_MERGE).

FOR MODULE AUTHORS

Though the minimum version requirement of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is arbitrary set to 6.17 (the one bundled in Perl 5.8.1), you need at least EUMM 6.52 (with CONFIGURE_REQUIRES support) when you release a distribution.
